This is a copycat of Bruce Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad. This band killed the song...
This song is more sobering than a 12-step meeting.
Bar-none; it's more American than Irish.
Folk/Pagan Song in the Gaulish language. According to the band themselves: "It's a pretty patriotic song actually - a kind of love song for ones' tribe's homeland if you want."
